The Ridiculous Trial of Sullivan.
LONDON, Oct. THE Chronicle, the gov
ernment organ, says Of Lord Mayor Sulli-
vans trial yesterday: 1T is impossible TO
deny that the breakdown Of the first prose-
cutiOn under the crimes act must seriously
damage the prestige of the government

will be seen that the summons issued against
the lord mayor has been dismissed, but the
whole case against him seems to have been
prepared by Dublin Castle, as IL they were
stage managers of fareical scenes in an
opera bOuffe. What makes matters worse Is
that in this instance we cannot blame a par
tisan jury for such a failure of justice. The
aequittal of the lord mayor was ordered by a
paid magistrate of the crown whose profess
siOnal interests could not possibly tempt him

crown was proceeding"

able mismanagement that the case Of the
crown broke down.
